New for 2014, both home and away jerseys will feature the logo of Thorns FC partner GLOBOFUEL on the jersey sleeve. GLOBOFUEL will also receive logo recognition on all official match shorts.

Both home and away jerseys are now on sale in men’s, women’s and youth sizes at shop.timbers.com and will be available beginning Tuesday, April 8, at team store locations at Providence Park and Pioneer Place Mall in downtown Portland. Official NWSL jersey customization will be available for an additional $30 per jersey.
